Are you a Yank ?

ITV must be run by a skate ! Our 10 second bit at the end of the Championship programme (and getting the goalscorer wrong) was a bl**dy insult !

I think he would prefer if you ask about the state of the toilets in the stadium !

I agree with Jan that AS would be better served waiting for a Premiership club, no point in staying in this league !

I have 2 teams : a) Partick Thistle (birth) b) Saints (marriage/geography) Strangely I have never been accused of being a 'glory hunter' ! My 3 kids (living in Surrey, Cape Town and Brussels) are all Saints fans based on family tradition ! The only negativity comes from 'er indoors' (Southampton born and bred!) who constantly whines on about us supporting a bunch of deadbeats, at great cost both financially and emotionally! TBF she knows F all about football but (although I would never admit it) maybe sometimes she has a point !!!

I sit in the Kingsland and never heard a single boo nor was there any particular negativity! Compared to last year there was a real buzz around me and the general feeling was that the lads had done their best and showed great potential ! At the end of the game there was applause, which given that we lost, was pretty unusual to say the least ! Maybe I was just lucky and there were no prats around me but I got the impression that the fans were quite prepared to give the young lads every chance to settle into this league !

a) The endless queues for the bog at half time! b) The aroma of urine from the brickwall you were pointing at! c) The warm coke served directly from a 2 litre bottle! d) The lack of any decent food! e) MLT's goals v Newcastle! f) Franny's goal v Leicester! g) Le God's winner v Arsenal in the last game v Arsenal ! It's just not the same anymore!

Excuse me for being pedantic but if you never look at it, how do you know that it is sh!t ??

I think I'll stick to War and Peace as it's a bit shorter !

FWIW I am an avid Saints fan but didn't even consider making the long trek to Exeter for an away tie in the secondary cup competition in England ! Total respect to the eight hundred or so who did and that includes Michael Wilde !!!

An all time classic !!!

Very strange this, I have a printout in my office drawer but when I tried to do it again just now it was not possible ! Perhaps I did the first print before the return of Rupert ? There can be no other logical explanation !

I don't suppose that the Skates reckon MLT is completely unbiased when he appears on Sky either ??

Interesting that he took the pen tonight, I wonder if he was appointed in advance or just fancied it as he had scored already ?

It was a little slow when posting but otherwise fine !

Sounded like a good performance and makes a change from our usual 1st round exit !

Pen McG 3-1

3 mins extra time, let's hope to feck that they don't get a free kick on edge of the box !

2-0 McG

You corrected that you cheeky b#gger just to make me look a prat ! Clear abuse of power !!

But only if you spell it correctly !

Having met him a couple of times I found him to be condescending, supercillious and ****y ! A pretty cold and unapproachable character who seemed to 'hold court' rather than involve himself in group discussion ! This is purely a personal view based on (fleeting) experience and I accept that sometimes first impressions can be deceptive !

Give me a break, mate? I merely said that we hadn't heard from him lately and wondered what was going on in terms of protest etc..? It really was a genuine question, given that there was so much passion against the return of RL and now that he is back I am curious to know whether there is still an active agenda ???

I did not intend this thread to become personal (although anything connected to RC does tend to stimulate ferocious debate!). My main question is:- after all the reports/meetings/forums etc.. is there still an agenda being pursued ??
